Ways to save money at the cinema
There’s nothing quite like seeing a new film on the big screen! Here’s how to make a few savings at the cinema.
Get two tickets for the price of one
Buy an insurance policy from Compare the Market and you’ll get free access to Meerkat Movies, which offers two for the price of one on tickets every Tuesday or Wednesday. Fortunately, there’s a chance to get this for around £1. All you need to do is buy a single day UK travel insurance!
Get some free tickets
The Club Lloyds current account offers six free tickets to use at Odeon or Vue and you’ll get these within a month of opening the account. You’ll need to add £2,000 to the account to cancel out a £3 monthly charge, but that money doesn’t need to be in one go or stay there — you can draw it straight back out.
Buy special offer tickets
From time to time there are deals running that offer cut price tickets. Sites like Groupon often sell bundles (套票) for the likes of Odeon and Vue that work out around £4 or £5 each. Other deals include National Cinema Day (usually in September) when all tickets are £3.

The sound of my mother preparing breakfast fills the house — my morning alarm.
As I walk toward the kitchen, I’m greeted by my mother standing over the cooker. She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family. This is my grandmother’s recipe.
Since my grandmother’s passing, I’ve become more aware of my mother’s aging and her devotion to cooking for us. She has cooked for her family for more than 30 years, dividing her time between three countries — Korea, Canada and Germany. When my parents visit us from Korea, they stay with us for several months. My mother helps around the house, showing her cooking skills to provide delicious meals for me, my husband and our kids. In every other year, she and my dad will travel to Berlin to spend a couple of weeks with my sister and her husband.
According to Statista, most Canadians report spending between 31 and 60 minutes preparing an average weekday dinner for themselves and others in their houses. Ten percent stated that they spend more than an hour preparing their evening meal. My mother belongs to that 10 percent.
Her cooking goes beyond the kitchen, starting with careful grocery shopping trips where she examines produce and finds the best deals. She takes everyone’s preferences and needs into account. The meal she creates becomes a ritual (仪式), bringing the family together to connect and share. Helping her out in the kitchen requires a great deal of patience. Yet, I know it’s her way of expressing love. As I prepare the vegetables, she notices that my carrots are not evenly sized. She pushes me aside to take over the task. “Just do the dishes.”
1. What do we know about the author’s mother from paragraph 2?
A. She has great cooking skills.
B. She has more than two children.
C. She lives with the author in Korea.
D. She invented the family beloved breakfast classic.

B. To present a common problem.
C. To stress the importance of home-cooked meals.
D. To explain the reasons behind infrequent cooking.
3. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Her mother dislikes being bothered. B. Her mother expects perfection in cooking.
C. Her mother gets angry easily. D. Her mother wants to teach her everything.
4. What is the key message conveyed in the text?
A. Mother’s recipe is the best in the world. B. Mother’s love needs to be responded to.
C. Mother’s selflessness inspires my family. D. Mother’s kitchen draws us closer together.

Hibernation (冬眠) is a way for many creatures to survive cold, dark winters without migrating to somewhere warmer. The main features of hibernation include slowed metabolism (新陈代谢), heart rate, and need for food and water. Hibernation is a commonality between animals like bears and groundhogs. It’s been known that humans aren’t a species that hibernate — at least, not until now. Scientists have unlocked a form of hibernation for humans, although it’s not a winter-long sleep, but more of a sleepy state where your bodily functions are slowed.
A study has been going on for years to learn if the human body can go through the state of hibernation. The study is being conducted by Clifton Callaway and funded by NASA in search of a way to further space exploration. Unlocking human hibernation would be the key to trips like the nine-month long journey to Mars, or even further beyond our solar system.
Hibernation in animals is triggered by the lack of food, temperature drops, and shorter days. In humans, winter doesn’t trigger any physiological changes in our bodies. According to National Geographic, the experiment included a man who successfully went through a form of hibernation with a certain drug, which is used for sedation (镇静状态) in the medical field. His internal temperature dropped, along with his heart rate and blood pressure. His need for food, oxygen, and metabolism reduced by 20%. This man was not sleeping though, he could still stand up to go to the bathroom, or when he was hungry, ring a bell to ask for food. The experiment showed that he was in a groggy state, although he would be able to react in emergency situations.
This is a major advancement for the science field, as it unlocks so many new opportunities. However, scientists still have lots of studies to conduct to learn exactly what this means and how to get other people into this state.
1. What can we learn about hibernation in paragraph 1?
A. It means complete inactivity. B. It is unique to large animals.
C. It is a natural human ability. D. It slows bodily functions.
2. What is the primary goal of the study carried out by Clifton Callaway?
A. To understand hibernation across species. B. To enable travel to Mars or beyond.
C. To improve critical care medicine. D. To test human endurance limits.
3. How did the man in the study differ from a hibernating animal?
A. His metabolism increased significantly. B. He could do basic tasks and respond.
C. He was still and deeply unconscious. D. His temperature stayed unchanged.
4. What is the author’s attitude regarding the future of human hibernation research?
A. Doubtful and critical. B. Indifferent and neutral.
C. Cautious and concerned. D. Optimistic but realistic.

A tool, called Nightshade, lets artists add invisible changes to their art before they upload it online to fight back against AI companies that use their work to train AI models without the creator’s permission. Using it to “poison” this training data could damage future image-generating AI models by making some of their outputs useless — dogs become cats, cats become cows, and so forth.
Generative AI models are excellent at making connections between words, which helps the “poison” spread. Nightshade infects not only the word “dog” but all similar concepts, such as “puppy,” “husky,” and “wolf.” The poison attack also works on indirectly related images. For example, if the model scraped (抓取) a “poisoned” image for the prompt (提示词) “fantasy art”, the prompts “dragon” and “a castle in The Lord of the Rings” would similarly be transformed into something else.
Some AI companies are facing a number of lawsuits (诉讼) from artists who claim that their copyrighted material and personal information was scraped without permission or compensation. Ben Zhao, a professor at the University of Chicago, who led the team that created Nightshade, says the hope is that it will help tip the power balance back from AI companies towards artists, by showing respect for artists’ copyright and intellectual property.
Zhao admits there is a risk that people might abuse the data “poisoning” technique for evil uses. However, he says attackers would need thousands of “poisoned” samples to cause real damage to larger, more powerful models, as they are trained on billions.
AI companies have offered to let artists opt (选择) out of having their images used to train future versions of the models. But artists say this is not enough. Eva Toorenent, an illustrator and artist, says opt-out policies require artists to jump through hoops and still leave tech companies with all the power. She hopes Nightshade will change the current situation and AI companies will think twice before they act.
1. What do we know about Nightshade from the first paragraph?
A. It helps artists to fight for lawful rights. B. It warns netizens of the online danger.
C. It reminds artists of stolen works. D. It “poisons” AI companies’ output.
2. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The way the “poison” spreads. B. The targets the “poison” attacks.
C. The types of transformed images. D. The advantage of AI models.
3. How does Eva Toorenent look at the opt-out policy?
A. Thankful. B. Fearful. C. Dissatisfied. D. Positive.
4. Which of the following would be a suitable title for the text?
A. Nightshade: Useless Output Creator B. Nightshade: Data “Poison” Technology
C. Nightshade: Artists’ Rights Protector D. Nightshade: Image-generating Model
七选五
In the age of rich information, we might assume we are exposed to a wider range of ideas than ever before. Unfortunately, the opposite is often true. We are increasingly likely to be trapped in “information cocoons (茧房)”. 1
These cocoons are mainly built by algorithms (算法). Social media platforms and search engines are designed to show us content in line with our past clicks, likes, and searches. 2 Over time, we are fed a steady diet of information that strengthens our existing beliefs, blocking us from challenging or opposing viewpoints.
The consequences of this are serious for both individuals and society. 3 It limits our critical thinking and our ability to understand perspectives different from our own. On a societal level, when different groups operate within entirely separate information ecosystems, finding common ground becomes nearly impossible. 4
Breaking free from an information cocoon requires conscious effort. 5 Actively seeking out news sources with different perspectives, engaging in respectful conversations with people who hold different opinions, and being mindful of the algorithms that shape our online experience are all crucial steps toward a more balanced and well-rounded understanding of the world.
A. Experts suggest that we should completely give up social media.
B. The first step is to recognize that such a cocoon exists around us.
C. For the individual, it can lead to a more narrow-minded worldview.
D. It is a comfortable space where our opinions are appreciated.
E. Therefore, political debates become more divided and less productive.
F. This personalized selection creates a unique digital world for each user.
G. This term describes being cut off from other ideas because you only get personalized information.

本文是一篇说明文,主题语境为人与社会。文章介绍了杜伊斯堡动物园的郢趣园作为中德友谊象征的修复工作及其文化意义。
1. as 考查介词。句意:郢趣园自1988年以来一直作为武汉和德国杜伊斯堡市之间友谊的象征。stand as表示“作为”,故填as。
2. the 考查冠词。句意:花园大约有一个足球场那么大。the size of是固定短语,表示“……的大小”,故填the。
3. applied 考查非谓语动词。句意:花园具有典型的中国建筑元素,例如广泛应用的榫卯结构,装饰有石狮、小径和溪流。分析句子结构可知,此处修饰名词structures,动词apply与structures之间是被动关系,故用过去分词applied作定语。故填applied。
4. that/which 考查定语从句。句意:琉璃瓦是必需的,因为它们增添了使花园生机勃勃的点缀。分析句子结构可知,空后是一个定语从句,修饰先行词the touch,先行词在从句中作主语,且指物,应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。
5. rarely 考查词性转换。句意:但如今这样的瓦片在市场上很少能买到。此处需用副词修饰形容词available,rare的副词形式为rarely。故填rarely。
6. has obtained 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:尽管面临挑战,武汉团队通过联系传统工匠已经获得了超过10,000片琉璃瓦,确保修复工作按计划进行。根据上下文可知,动作已经完成,应用现在完成时;主语the Wuhan team作为集体名词,通常被视为单数,故填has obtained。
7. opening 考查词性转换。句意:自1988年正式向公众开放以来,花园受到了当地社区的热烈欢迎。介词upon后需接名词,open的名词形式为opening。故填opening。
8. was embraced 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意同上。主语the garden与动词embrace之间是被动关系,且动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was embraced。
9. exhibiting 考查非谓语动词。句意:它已发展成为一个展示中国文化的场所,举办了许多与中国相关的活动。介词for后需接动名词形式,exhibit的动名词为exhibiting。故填exhibiting。
10. to view 考查非谓语动词。句意:多年来,它一直是当地人了解中国文化的一个窗口,并在修复后将继续进行文化对话。a window for sb. to do sth.是固定表达,表示“某人做某事的窗口”,故用不定式to view。故填to view。

本文是一篇新闻报道,主题语境为人与科技。文章生动报道了中国空间站宇航员首次使用专用热风烘烤机烹饪食物的过程,并介绍了该烤箱的技术升级及其对宇航员生活的积极影响。
1. delivered 考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国空间站上,由神舟二十一号飞船运送的热风烘烤机已经开始烘烤,正如一段流行视频所展示的那样——宇航员首次品味新鲜烹制的鸡翅和牛排。分析句子结构可知,空处为修饰主语“the hot air oven”的后置定语。动词deliver与逻辑主语oven之间为被动关系(烤箱被运送),且动作已完成,应用过去分词。故填delivered。
2. a 考查冠词。句意同上。名词“video”为可数名词单数,此处为首次提及且泛指“一段视频”,应用不定冠词。popular以辅音音素开头,故填a。
3. and 考查连词。句意:在视频中,可以看到神舟二十一号乘组成员、航天工程师武飞从包装中取出腌好的鸡翅,将它们放在烤盘上,然后滑入烤箱。此处连接三个连续的并列动作“taking..., placing..., sliding...”,应用并列连词and。故填and。
4. produced 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:大约28分钟后,(烤箱)制作出了一盘滋滋作响、太空版的新奥尔良鸡翅。分析句子结构可知,此处为which引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语部分。从句主语为which(指代oven),动作发生在过去(与主句“is seen”描述的观看视频的时间点相对),且为主动语态,应用一般过去时。故填produced。
5. for 考查介词。句意:他们都来自以优质牛羊肉闻名的中国内蒙古自治区。be known for为固定搭配,意为“以……闻名”。故填for。
6. whose 考查定语从句。句意:鸡翅和牛排很快在六名宇航员中分享,他们的脸上都洋溢着喜悦。分析句子结构可知,空格后为定语从句,修饰先行词“the six astronauts”。从句中“faces”与先行词之间为所属关系(宇航员们的脸),应用关系代词whose引导定语从句,在从句中作定语修饰faces。故填whose。
7. significantly 考查词性转换。句意:与地球上的烤箱相比,太空烤箱已经得到显著升级。此处需用副词修饰动词“upgraded”。significant的副词形式为significantly。故填significantly。
8. cycles 考查词性转换和名词复数。句意:烤箱经过了严格测试,以确保其满足空间站的准入条件,并能连续可靠运行多达500个周期。数词500后接可数名词,cycle意为“周期”,此处应用复数形式。故填cycles。

10. happiness 考查词性转换。句意同上。空格前为a sense of结构,of为介词,后需接名词。happy的名词形式为happiness。故填happiness。

本文是一篇应用文(省钱指南)。文章主要介绍了三种在电影院省钱的具体方法:通过购买特定保险获得“买一送一”优惠、开通特定银行账户获得免费电影票、以及购买网站套票或在国家电影院日购买特价票。
1. D 细节理解题。根据Get two tickets for the price of one部分可知,购买该保险可以获得Meerkat Movies的访问权限,从而享受每周二或周三的“买一送一”优惠。文章开篇主题句“Here’s how to make a few savings at the cinema.”点明了所有方法的共同目的——省钱。D项“为了在电影院省点钱”直接呼应了文章主旨和该省钱方法的核心目标。故选D。
2. A 细节理解题。根据Get some free tickets部分中的“You’ll need to add £2,000 to the account to cancel out a £3 monthly charge”可知,存入2000英镑可以直接抵消每月3英镑的账户管理费。A项“你可以避免支付3英镑的月费”是文中该句的同义转述。故选A。
3. B 数字计算题。根据Buy special offer tickets部分中的“Other deals include National Cinema Day (usually in September) when all tickets are £3.”可知,在国家电影院日,所有电影票的价格均为每张3英镑。因此,购买3张的总价应为3×3 = £9。故选B。
B
本文是一篇记叙文,主题语境为人与社会。文章通过描述母亲几十年如一日为家人精心准备饭菜的日常细节,展现了烹饪作为一种仪式和表达爱的方式,如何将家庭成员紧密联结在一起。
1. A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She effortlessly cooks a dish that mixes Western and Eastern styles, a beloved breakfast classic in our family.”可知,母亲可以“毫不费力地”烹饪出一道融合东西方风味的菜肴,她拥有高超的厨艺。故选A。
2. A 目的意图题。文章在第四段引用了数据:大多数加拿大人做饭时间为31-60分钟,只有10%的人超过一小时。紧接着下一句明确指出“我的母亲属于那10%”。结合上下文,第三段强调了母亲三十多年来的奉献,第五段则描述了她从购物到烹饪的全程投入。因此,引用数据是为了通过将母亲的付出与普通人的常态进行对比,从而凸显她为家人付出的时间和精力远超常人,而这正是她表达爱的方式。故选A。
3. B 推理判断题。画线句子是后文具体事例的总括和铺垫。紧接着,作者用自己切胡萝卜大小不匀而被母亲推开接手的例子,来具体说明为什么需要“耐心”。母亲这一行为并非出于易怒或不喜欢被打扰,而是因为她对烹饪过程的细节和成果有着很高的标准,不容许不完美。这种对“完美”的追求,使得帮助者必须适应她的节奏和要求,从而需要极大的耐心。因此,从画线句及其后的例证可以推断,母亲在烹饪这件事上追求完美。故选B。
4. D 主旨大意题。全文围绕母亲的厨房和烹饪展开。它不仅描述了母亲的技能和付出,更强调了她准备的饭菜成为了一种“仪式”,将家人聚集在一起“联系和分享”。烹饪是爱的表达,也是家庭关系的核心纽带。D项“母亲的厨房让我们更紧密”精准地概括了烹饪在维系家庭情感中的核心作用。故选D。
完形填空
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了主人公Jane从艺术学院毕业后投身演艺事业,经过反思后决定改变人生方向,攻读MBA并最终创业的个人经历,强调了家庭与生活平衡的重要性。
1. C 考查动词辨析。句意:我获得了文学学士学位。此处描述学业完成的状态。“with a Bachelor of Arts”表示拥有学位,与之搭配的动词应为“毕业”。graduate with(以……学位毕业)是固定搭配。side(支持)、title(命名)、engage(从事)均不符合语境。故选C。
2. B 考查名词辨析。句意:并在20多岁时继续从事表演工作。根据后文“performed eight shows a week”(每周演出八场)可知,她的工作是舞台表演。acting(表演)最符合。painting(绘画)、editing(编辑)、sowing(播种)均与“演出”无关。故选B。
3. A 考查名词辨析。句意:我的事业就是我生命的全部。根据后文她愿意每天付出14小时练习并每周演出8场,以及之后的感悟可知,一开始作者把事业当成是生命的全部。cause(事业、目标)符合语境。passion(激情)、outcome(结果)和motivation(动机)与文意不符。故选A。
4. C 考查动词辨析。句意:所有这些迫使我错过旅行和课程。由于工作极度繁忙(14小时/天,8场/周),她没有时间参加其他活动。miss(错过)最符合“因故无法参加”的语境。possess(拥有)、acquire(获得)逻辑不通,schedule(安排)与“被迫”和“绝望”的情感色彩矛盾。故选C。
5. B 考查副词辨析。句意:令我绝望的是,我不断地被建议要全身心投入工作。此处描述外界持续施加的压力,与她的内心挣扎形成对比。constantly(不断地)能体现这种持续性的外界期望。occasionally(偶尔)程度太轻;barely(几乎不)与文意相反;respectively(分别地)不符合语境。故选B。
6. A 考查动词短语辨析。句意:有一天我慢下来,重新审视自己。后文是她进行深刻自我反省(reexamined)的内容,这需要从忙碌中抽身,停下来思考。slow down(慢下来,放缓节奏)是开始反思的前提。test out(测试)、settle on(决定)、give away(赠送)均无法引出下文的内心追问。故选A。
7. D 考查形容词辨析。句意:答案是我生命中最有意义的部分是与所爱之人共度的时光——而不是在舞台上。此处是她反思后得出的核心结论,与之前“工作即生命”的观念形成对比。meaningful(有意义的)能最高程度地肯定家庭时光的价值。bitter(痛苦的)、demanding(要求高的)、complicated(复杂的)均为中性或负面词汇,不符合此处积极的情感判断。故选D。
8. C 考查名词辨析。句意:这导致了一次方向的转变。前文是反思和结论,此处是结论带来的行动结果:从演艺事业转向能兼顾家庭的新职业路径。shift(转变,改变)准确概括了这种职业轨迹的变化。reputation(声誉)、barrier(障碍)、consequence(后果)均不能准确描述这种主动的人生方向调整。故选C。
9. B 考查动词辨析。句意:于是我来到哥伦比亚商学院攻读MBA。pursue a degree(攻读学位)是固定搭配。appoint(任命)、invest(投资)、guarantee(保证)均不能与“MBA”搭配。故选B。
10. D 考查形容词辨析。句意:为了在咨询行业建立事业,这可能会让我精神焕发。此处描述她对咨询职业的初始积极预期,认为这可能是一种令人振奋的新开始。refreshed(焕然一新的,精神振奋的)符合这种对新生活的憧憬。depressed(沮丧的)和torn(纠结的)为负面;adorable(可爱的)一般不用于形容人的状态。故选D。
11. A 考查形容词辨析。前文提到,Jane转读MBA是希望进入一个能让她“焕然一新”(refreshed)、平衡生活的咨询行业。但紧接着,她描述的现实是同行日夜工作、职位要求持续深夜加班。因此,这个新世界对她而言“感觉一切都如此‘熟悉’”。awesome(令人敬畏的;极好的);striking(显著的;引人注目的)和dismissive(轻视的;不屑一顾的)均不符合语境。故选A。
12. D 考查形容词辨析。句意:我后来发现这些职位需要持续不断的深夜电话。根据前文“working day and night”和后文“ending work before midnight was ridiculous”可知,这种深夜工作是持续性的、一贯的要求。consistent(持续的,一贯的)最准确。effortless(不费力的)与高压文化相反;effective(有效的)、tolerant(宽容的)不符合语境。故选D。
13. A 考查动词辨析。句意:渐渐地,我意识到拥有自己的企业才是重要的。此处是她最终得出的结论:只有自己创业才能掌控时间,实现工作与生活的平衡。count(重要,有价值)符合“具有重要性”的语义。affect(影响)太泛;emerge(出现)、disappear(消失)不合逻辑。故选A。
14. B 考查名词辨析。句意:他们曾给年轻时的自己的建议是不要花太多时间工作。根据后句“他们希望自己过去能多参加孩子的运动比赛”可知,这是商业领袖们回顾自身经历时的悔悟,是给“过去的自己”的建议。selves是self的复数,their younger selves(他们年轻时的自己)是正确表达。neighbors(邻居)、relatives(亲戚)、friends(朋友)均不符合“给自己建议”的语境。故选B。
15. C 考查名词辨析。句意:我把他们的见解贴在了墙上。这些商业领袖关于生活重于工作的感悟,是深刻的人生“见解”或“洞见”。insight(深刻见解)最合适。appeal(呼吁)、request(请求)、doubt(怀疑)均不能概括“不要花太多时间工作”这样的经验之谈。故选C。
【阅读提升】
C
本文是一篇科技说明文。文章介绍了人类冬眠的传统认知,以及由NASA资助的一项探索人类进入类冬眠状态的研究。该研究旨在为长途太空旅行提供解决方案,并通过实验证明了利用药物诱导人类进入代谢降低但意识尚存的“昏昏欲睡”状态是可能的,同时文章也指出了该领域仍需大量研究。
1. D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The main features of hibernation include slowed metabolism (新陈代谢), heart rate, and need for food and water.”可知,冬眠的主要特征包括新陈代谢、心率和食物水需求降低,即身体机能减缓。A项“它意味着完全静止不动”与第一段描述的类冬眠状态“不是长期睡眠,而是昏昏欲睡的状态”以及后文实验对象仍可活动的情况不符;B项“它是大型动物独有的”,文中提到熊和土拨鼠是冬眠动物的例子,但并未说这是大型动物独有,且“commonality”一词表明这是一种共性现象;C项“它是人类的天然能力”,文中明确指出“It’s been known that humans aren’t a species that hibernate”,人类并非天生冬眠的物种。故选D。
2. B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The study is being conducted ... funded by NASA in search of a way to further space exploration. Unlocking human hibernation would be the key to trips like the nine-month long journey to Mars, or even further ...”可知,这项由NASA资助的研究主要目的是为了推动太空探索,实现如前往火星或更远星球的旅行。A项“理解跨物种的冬眠”范围过宽,研究核心是人类;C项“改进危重症医学”,文中提到的药物虽用于医疗镇静,但研究的主要背景和目标是太空旅行,非主要为了医学改进;D项“测试人类耐力极限”并非文章明确表述的研究目的。故选B。
3. B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“This man was not sleeping though, he could still stand up to go to the bathroom, or when he was hungry, ring a bell to ask for food. ... he was in a groggy state, although he would be able to react in emergency situations.”可知,实验对象与冬眠动物的关键区别在于他仍保留一定的意识和行动能力,可以进行如厕、要食物等基本活动并对紧急情况作出反应。A项“他的新陈代谢显著增加”与文中“新陈代谢降低了20%”的事实相反;C项“他静止不动且深度无意识”与描述其能够活动的状态矛盾;D项“他的体温保持不变”与文中“His internal temperature dropped”的表述不符。故选B。
4. D 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段“This is a major advancement for the science field, as it unlocks so many new opportunities. However, scientists still have lots of studies to conduct ...”可知,作者认为这是一项重大进步,能带来新机遇(体现乐观),但同时明确指出科学家仍需进行大量研究以完全理解其意义和应用方法(体现现实和审慎)。A项“怀疑和批评的”与文中肯定进步的语气不符;B项“冷漠和中立的”与文章结尾带有评价性的总结不符;C项“谨慎和担忧的”虽然包含了谨慎,但未体现对重大进步的积极评价。故选D。
D
本文是一篇科技说明文。文章介绍了一款名为Nightshade的工具,该工具允许艺术家在上传作品前对其进行不可见的修改,以对抗未经授权使用其作品训练AI模型的公司。其核心机制是通过“毒害”训练数据来破坏未来图像生成AI模型的输出,并详细说明了其工作原理、研发目的、潜在风险以及艺术家对其的期待。
1. A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“lets artists add invisible changes to their art ... to fight back against AI companies that use their work to train AI models without the creator’s permission.”可知,Nightshade的工具属性是帮助艺术家对抗未经授权使用其作品的AI公司,这是一种维护自身合法权益(如版权)的行为。A项“它帮助艺术家争取合法权利”准确概括了此目的。B项“它警告网民网络危险”在文中未提及;C项“它提醒艺术家作品被偷”,文中工具是主动“反击(fight back)”而非被动“提醒(remind)”;D项“它‘毒害’AI公司的输出”,原文指通过毒害训练数据来“损害未来模型(damage future ... models)”或导致其“输出无用(making some of their outputs useless)”,而非直接毒害当前输出。故选A。
2. A 段落主旨题。第二段首句“Generative AI models are excellent at making connections between words, which helps the ‘poison’ spread.”为主题句,明确指出本段核心是解释“毒药”如何借助生成式AI模型的词语关联能力进行扩散。后续内容具体说明了这种扩散如何从直接相关词汇(如“狗”到“小狗”、“狼”)波及到间接相关图像(如“奇幻艺术”到“龙”)。因此,本段主要关于“毒药”的传播方式。B项“毒药攻击的目标”是传播机制作用下的表现,非核心;C项“被转换图像的类型”是用于说明传播效果的例子;D项“AI模型的优势”是传播得以发生的原因,但非段落论述焦点。故选A。
3. C 观点态度题。根据文章最后一段中Eva Toorenent的表述“opt-out policies require artists to jump through hoops and still leave tech companies with all the power.”可知,她认为选择退出政策要求艺术家经历繁琐程序(jump through hoops),且权力仍然完全掌握在科技公司手中。这明确表达了她对该政策的不满和批评。A项“感激的”、B项“恐惧的”、D项“积极的”均与文中她的批评态度不符。故选C。
4. C 标题判断题。文章开篇指出Nightshade这一工具能让艺术家在上传作品前添加隐形变化,以此对抗未经许可使用其作品训练AI模型的AI公司,这体现了它在维护艺术家权益方面的作用。接着阐述该工具“毒害”训练数据的方式及影响,如让模型生成错误图像,进一步说明其能对侵犯艺术家权益的AI公司形成制约。还提到研发者希望借此平衡艺术家与AI公司的权力,以及艺术家对该工具的期待,认为其能改变现状,这都表明Nightshade的核心意义在于保护艺术家权利,所以C选项“Nightshade: Artists’ Rights Protector”作为标题最为合适。故选C。
七选五
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了“信息茧房”现象,解释了其形成原因(主要是算法导致)、对个人和社会造成的负面影响,并提出了如何有意识地打破信息茧房的建议。
1. G 空前提出了“信息茧房”这一概念,并指出我们可能被困其中。下文具体介绍了“信息茧房”形成原因、影响等。因此,空处最可能对“信息茧房”进行定义或解释。G项“This term describes being cut off from other ideas because you only get personalized information.(这个术语描述的是由于你只获取个性化信息而与其他观点隔绝的状态。)”准确解释了“信息茧房”的核心特征,与首句形成定义关系,使段落意思完整。故选G。
2. F 空前描述了算法根据用户过往行为推送内容。空后说明长期后果。因此,空处应承接前文,说明这种推送机制的直接结果。F项“This personalized selection creates a unique digital world for each user.(这种个性化的选择为每个用户创造了一个独特的数字世界。)”恰当地总结了算法推送的本质结果,即构建了个人化的信息环境,为下文“信息茧房”的形成打下基础。故选F。
3. C 段首句总述对个人和社会后果严重。下文以“For the individual...”和“On a societal level...”并列结构分别阐述对个人和社会的影响。因此,空处应开启对个人影响的具体说明。C项“For the individual, it can lead to a more narrow-minded worldview.(对个人而言,它可能导致世界观更加狭隘。)”与下文“It limits our critical thinking ...”在逻辑和语义上紧密衔接,其中“it”指代信息茧房,“narrow-minded”也与“limits ... different from our own”相呼应。故选C。
4. E 空前描述了社会层面上的问题:不同群体处于分离的信息生态系统中,难以找到共同点。因此,空处最可能进一步说明这种社会问题导致的具体后果。E项“Therefore, political debates become more divided and less productive.(因此,政治辩论变得更加分裂且成效更低。)”是前文信息割裂可能导致的自然结果,用“Therefore”体现因果关系,“divided”与“separate information ecosystems”及“finding common ground ... impossible”逻辑一致。故选E。
5. B 段首句提出打破信息茧房需要努力。空格后是具体的行动建议(寻求不同观点、进行对话、警惕算法)。因此,空处应作为本段主题句或提出首要步骤,引出后文的具体做法。B项“The first step is to recognize that such a cocoon exists around us.”(第一步是认识到我们周围存在这样一个茧房。)明确指出“第一步”,与后文的“Actively seeking ...”、“being mindful ...”等具体“步骤”形成完美的逻辑关系,是打破茧房的意识前提。故选B。

一、应用文
Good morning, everyone. On behalf of our group, I am here to present our discussion on whether social media is beneficial for enhancing friendships. Our group hold the view that social media is beneficial for strengthening friendships. We have reached this conclusion based on two main reasons.
Firstly, social media effectively bridges geographical distances. It allows us to maintain daily contact with friends who live far away. Through sharing updates, we can stay involved in each other’s lives, which helps sustain and deepen our bonds. Secondly, it helps us find and connect with like-minded people. Online interest groups enable us to discover new friends who share our passions. This common ground provides a strong foundation for building meaningful and supportive friendships.
Therefore, we believe that social media serves as a valuable tool for both maintaining existing friendships and forming new connections. Thanks for listening.

Our travel plans are designed by experienced professionals and local Inuit guides who know the land very well. The beautiful nature and rich local culture together create an Arctic experience you can’t find anywhere else. We make sure you have comfortable places to stay and good transportation. After a day of outdoor activities, you can relax in warmth and comfort. Understanding the geography and spirit of this place is key to appreciating the adventures that await.
About Arctic Bay
Arctic Bay sits in the northwest corner of Baffin Island. At 73°N latitude, it’s far above the Arctic Circle, making it one of the northernmost communities in the world. The village is surrounded by beautiful mountains and has about 800 people.
Natural Environment
The area around Arctic Bay features amazing rock formations, including tall red cliffs reaching 180 meters high. From May 6 to August 6, Arctic Bay enjoys 24-hour sunlight. This area has surprisingly stable weather because it’s protected from strong northern winds.
History and Culture
Evidence shows that Inuit people have lived in this area for nearly 5,000 years. The community was officially established in 1927. In 1976, a mine opened nearby, bringing better transportation connections to the outside world. The mine closed in 2002, but it helped modernize the community.
Now, are you ready to create memories that will last a lifetime? Your unforgettable personal journey into the heart of the Arctic begins here.
1. What is mentioned as a feature of Arctic Bay Adventures in the passage?

When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume on social media, you shouldn’t automatically assume they are reading the book.
It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants everyone to know they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signaling they have the “taste and attention span” to pick up a physical book.
The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with “BookTok”, the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favored books into a “trend-driven accessory (配饰)”, said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman.
BookTok is seen as performative, with trendy books going viral not because of the quality of the literature but because it suggests an increasingly fashionable, intellectual-looking style. And when reading becomes a competition, with countless users showing off about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to demonstrating yourself to be a voracious reader.
Social posturing through books isn’t new. What is new is the uniquely unapologetic way social media “rubber-stamps” the idea of books as an accessory, rather than an art. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are “feed-friendly”.
But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales. In 2023, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with an increase of visits to UK libraries.
“One of life’s simplest pleasures remains falling into a story and tuning the world out, without worrying about what someone’s going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing exactly that. So, rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because this is not a performance for you — they’re simply enjoying the moment.
1. Why do some people engage in performative reading?
A. To popularize book clubs. B. To promote reading habits.
C. To improve their social image. D. To stress the importance of literature.
2. What does the underlined word “voracious” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Slow. B. Eager. C. Selective. D. Occasional.
3. What risk does turning books into accessories create?
A. Online reading could take over. B. Physical book sales will decline.
C. Book clubs may become exclusive. D. Meaningful content might get sidelined.
4. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be ______.
A. urged to read privately B. guided to select better materials
C. discouraged from posting online D. respected without being disturbed

One of my favorite memories was how people connected through 8 . When I started dating my husband, we arranged to play soccer. I arrived and asked, “Where’s the ball?” He explained we would just join 9 already playing. This was new to me. Though I’m a quiet person, I loved this friendly, community spirit, and it became one of my most 10 parts of life in China.
Another special experience was 11 Chinese traditions after my children were born. I hired a yuesao, a caregiver who helps new mothers rest and eat special foods for a month. This caring 12 was very different from what many new moms experience in the West, where they often do most things alone. Thanks to my yuesao, I felt well cared for.
From my husband’s family to strangers I met, Chinese people were 13 , hardworking, and proud of their culture. They made me feel at home.
Now that I’m back in Australia, I sometimes find it 14 to read unfair news about China in the media. Many people don’t understand the real China I came to love. That’s why I feel it’s important to 15 my own story — to help others see the China I knew, a country that gave me so much.

Global sea levels continue to rise despite efforts that cities around the world are making to reduce the effects of climate change and their carbon emissions (排放). One firm, however, is hoping to battle the effects of climate change. Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City — a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions.
Each 25-acre unit houses 50,000 residents on interconnected platforms, with potential expansion for 200,000 and buildings are capped at 90 meters tall for stability. “Structures must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves,” explains architect Curci. To achieve this, seawater resistant materials are given priority to, while hollow sections in platforms help them float. Meanwhile, movable bridges are constructed to link these “water neighborhoods” to mainland transport systems.
The project team also imagines a mix of renewable energy sources extracting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using smart computer programs inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters.
Compared to building artificial islands, this method preserves 68% more marine life and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks. However, challenges persist. Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring maintenance every four months, and emergency plans for extreme weather are still under way. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts but evolving with them,” notes designer Tim Fu.
While some question long-term possibility, the design redefines urban adaptability. These dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms, offering a blueprint for climate solutions. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci says. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning threats into sustainable opportunities.
1. What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design?
A. Energy crisis. B. Possible disasters. C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities.
2. Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design?
A. Complicated and immovable. B. Adaptable and creative.
C. Eco-friendly and cost-effective. D. Renewable and widely-used.
3. What is a limitation of Luca Curci’s design?
A. It threatens marine life. B. It lacks clean energy options.
C. It requires regular repair. D. It ignores coastal water changes.
4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat B. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions
C. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo

Adolescence (青春期) is an important period for forming identity and learning to manage emotions. However, many young people express inner troubles not through sadness, but through anger, silence, or misbehavior. This makes helping them particularly challenging.
The teenage brain develops in a way that explains much of this behavior. The part handling emotions grows earlier than the part responsible for clear thinking and decision-making. This mismatch often leads teens to react with feelings first, not logic.
What looks like anger is often a cover for deeper issues — anxiety, fear, or feeling worthless. Similarly, pulling away usually doesn’t mean they don’t care; it may mean they feel overwhelmed. Teens who can’t manage emotions well often act out through aggression (攻击) or breaking rules. Seeing these actions as calls for help is the first step toward offering real support.
Good communication is key when a young person is struggling silently. Active listening — giving full attention, understanding, replying, and remembering what is said — makes a big difference. It helps to accept their feelings even when their behavior is off track. Saying something like, “You seem really upset right now,” can calm the situation and start a conversation.
Feeling emotionally safe is essential. Young people talk more openly when they feel accepted, not criticized. Clear rules also build trust and security by making life more predictable. Research confirms that a parenting style that is both firm and warm best supports teen well-being.
Besides support from others, teens need their own tools to handle difficulties. Simple techniques, like focusing on what they can see or touch, can help manage strong emotions. Writing in a journal or thinking quietly about their feelings helps teens understand what upsets them. Making choices based on personal values gives direction and builds confidence. These methods help teens face challenges with greater awareness and courage, leading themselves well even through hard times.
In summary, helping troubled teens requires looking beyond surface behavior. By recognizing unspoken signals, listening without judgment, and teaching inner strength, both young people and their caregivers can build greater trust and enable meaningful growth.
1. What causes teenagers to react emotionally to situations?
A. All brain areas develop at the same pace. B. Logic skills develop before emotions.
C. Brain development is complete by age 15. D. Emotions develop faster than reasoning.
2. What can be inferred about teenagers’ anger or silence?
A. They usually keep their negative feelings to themselves.
B. Silence means teens don’t care about the people around them.
C. These behaviors are mainly caused by their dislike of family rules.
D. Teens with such behaviors often refuse any form of help from others.
3. Creating an emotionally safe environment helps teenagers to ______.
A. rely on their parents for support B. express their thoughts more frankly
C. avoid experiencing strong emotions D. focus more on their academic performance
4. According to paragraph 6, why should teens learn these techniques?
A. Because it can ensure their decisions are based on logic.
B. Because it can reduce their dependence on external support.
C. Because it can equip them with skills for dealing with problems.
D. Because it can improve their communication with parents and friends.

Having the skills to keep good emotional health is significant if we want to succeed in our lives. And it’s especially important to adjust our emotions when we are faced with difficult situations. 1 So our ability to have skills to manage both our positive and negative emotions is key. There are many ways to maintain or even improve our emotional health.
Stay connected. While living alone can be fun and thrilling, you may feel lonely especially while passing through difficult times in life. Community is important. 2 Online connections are good, but seeing someone in person once in a while is helpful too.
Exercise, physical and mental health are interlinked. Staying physically active for at least 30 minutes a day can help to improve your overall emotional health. So why not take on a daily workout routine? But you don’t have to make the workout too hard. 3
Find meaning in your life. Some people have jobs that give them a feeling of purpose, but that’s not the only way to find meaning in your life. 4 Something as simple as caring for a pet or volunteering for a cause that you’re passionate about can also give you that feeling.
5 You don’t have to handle negative emotions on your own. Knowing when to reach out to a mental health professional for help with difficult emotions is a useful skill to have. You should also reach out to one if you have tried to improve your emotional health, but still aren’t feeling your best.
A. Know when to turn to somebody else.
B. Set goals and celebrate your achievements.
C. Just going for a walk around your house can help.
D. We are sure to face challenges in our personal lives.

1. C 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s known as ‘performative reading’ as the ‘reader’ wants everyone to know they read ... They’re signaling they have the ‘taste and attention span’ to pick up a physical book.”可知,进行“表演性阅读”的人是为了让每个人知道他们在阅读,以展示自己的品味和注意力,从而改善社交形象。C项“为了改善社交形象”与此一致。故选C。
2. B 词义猜测题。根据第四段“with countless users showing off about having read more than 35 books in a single month ... quality takes a backseat to demonstrating yourself to be a voracious reader.”可知,用户炫耀一个月读35本书以上,质量让位于展示自己是一个“voracious”读者。结合上下文,此处应指阅读量大、渴望阅读的,与eager(渴望的)同义。B项正确。slow(慢的)、selective(挑剔的)、occasional(偶尔的)均不符合语境。故选B。
3. D 细节理解题。根据第五段“And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are ‘feed-friendly’.”可知,将书籍变成配饰的危险是出版商可能专注于适合社交媒体推送的书籍,而不是有艺术价值的书籍,这意味着有意义的內容可能被边缘化。D项“有意义的内容可能被边缘化”与此一致。故选D。
4. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, rather than ‘finger-wagging’ about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because this is not a performance for you — they’re simply enjoying the moment.”可知,Demopoulos认为,对于在公共场合阅读的人,应该让他们独自一人,不要打扰,因为他们可能只是在享受阅读时刻。D项“尊重而不被打扰”正确。故选D。
完形填空
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位澳大利亚人从最初赴中国学习,到在中国长期生活、组建家庭,最终返回澳大利亚后依然对中国怀有深厚感情的个人经历。通过描述在北京的求学见闻、社区体育活动中体验到的友善、产后遵循中国传统习俗等具体事例,展现了作者对中国文化从接触到理解再到热爱的过程,以及她渴望向世界分享真实中国形象的愿望。
1. A 考查名词辨析。句意:因为我想念中国,这个我十多年的家。前文提到“我鼓励丈夫去和看到的中国家庭交谈”,原因是“我想念中国”,且中国是作者生活了十多年的地方,情感上已成为她的“家”。home(家)最符合这种情感归属。country(国家)和destination(目的地)过于宽泛和正式,无法体现个人情感纽带。workplace(工作场所)与上下文提及的经历(学习、生活)不完全吻合。故选A。
2. B 考查动词辨析。句意:我作为一名澳大利亚学生来到北京大学学习中文。此处描述旅程的开始,即“抵达”北京开始学习。arrive(到达)最准确。organize(组织)和recognize(认出)不符合学生身份入学的语境。return(返回)与后文“旅程开始”矛盾。故选B。
3. A 考查动词短语辨析。句意:我原以为是一年的项目,结果变成了精彩的十二年。这里强调时间的意外延长和性质的转变,从短期项目“变成”了长期生活。turn into(变成)最能表达这种转变。add to(增加)仅表示数量增加,未强调质变;rely on(依赖)和end with(以……结束)逻辑不通。故选A。
4. D 考查名词辨析。句意:每一天都给我带来新发现,因为事物总是在变化和发展。后文“things were always changing and moving”解释了原因,在一个充满变化的环境中,自然会有不断的“发现”。discovery(发现)最贴切。adventure(冒险)和challenge(挑战)带有更强的困难或风险意味,与上文描述的积极体验(amazing years)不完全一致。comparison(比较)在此处不适用。故选D。
5. C 考查形容词辨析。句意:高铁和现代建筑与传统民居和小餐馆比邻而居。此处通过对比展现北京的传统与现代交融。“High-speed trains”是现代化的象征,因此与之并列的建筑物也应是“现代的”,才能形成“modern ... beside traditional ...”的对比结构。modern(现代的)正确。plain(朴素的)、ancient(古老的)、simple(简单的)均无法与“传统”形成有效对比。故选C。
6. A 考查副词辨析。句意:更重要的是,生活在那里教会了我生活方式和思维方式不止一种。此句引入更深层的感悟,比前文描述的城市面貌更为重要,起强调和递进作用。More importantly(更重要的是)是常用衔接短语,符合语境。naturally(自然地)、typically(典型地)、frequently(频繁地)均无法表达这种逻辑递进关系。故选A。
7. C 考查动词辨析。句意:这是改变了我世界观的一堂宝贵课程。前文提到“教会我生活方式不止一种”,这种深刻的领悟自然会“改变”一个人的世界观。change(改变)最直接且程度恰当。test(测试)、record(记录)程度太轻,protect(保护)与上下文无关。故选C。
8. B 考查名词辨析。句意:我最喜欢的记忆之一是人们如何通过运动建立联系。下文详细描述了通过踢足球结识他人的经历,这是“运动”的具体例证。sports(运动)是下文故事的核心。work(工作)、language(语言)、reaction(反应)均与下文内容不符。故选B。
9. D 考查名词辨析。句意:他解释说我们只需要加入那些已经在玩的人。根据“This was new to me”和“community spirit”可知,这种直接加入陌生人正在进行的活动的做法,体现了开放和社区精神。stranger(陌生人)最符合“新认识、原本不认识的人”这一语境。relative(亲戚)、athlete(运动员)、friend(朋友)都与“直接加入”所隐含的“起初不认识”相矛盾。故选D。
10. C 考查形容词辨析。句意:尽管我性格安静,但我热爱这种友好的社区精神,它成了我在中国生活中最珍视的部分之一。前文表达了对这种精神的“爱(loved)”,因此它应该是被“珍视的”。cherished(珍视的,珍贵的)符合积极的情感评价。specific(具体的)、confusing(令人困惑的)、valueless(无价值的)均与情感色彩不符。故选C。
11. A 考查动词辨析。句意:另一个特别的经历是在孩子们出生后遵循中国传统。后文详细描述了雇佣“月嫂”这一中国传统产后护理习俗,这是“遵循”传统的具体表现。follow(遵循,遵照)准确。abandon(抛弃)与文意相反;watch(观看)和create(创造)均不准确。故选A。
12. C 考查名词辨析。句意:这种关爱的做法与西方许多新妈妈的经历非常不同。此处指代前文雇佣月嫂、进行特殊饮食和休息这一整套“做法”或“习俗”。practice(做法,惯例)最合适。charity(慈善)、experiment(实验)不合语境。system(系统)范围太大,这里更侧重具体的习俗实践。故选C。
13. D 考查形容词辨析。句意:从我丈夫的家人到我遇到的陌生人,中国人都很热情、勤劳,并且为自己的文化感到自豪。此处总结对中国人的整体印象,需要与“hardworking, and proud”并列的积极品质。根据全文描述的友善社区精神、月嫂的关怀等,warm(热情的,温暖的)最能概括这种人情味。curious(好奇的)文中未强调;ashamed(羞愧的)和shy(害羞的)与积极评价不符。故选D。
14. B 考查形容词辨析。句意:现在我回到了澳大利亚,我有时觉得在媒体上看到关于中国的不公平新闻是很难受的。后文提到“许多人不了解我所爱的真实中国”,表明作者因了解真实情况而对不实报道感到不快或难以接受。hard(困难的,难以接受的)能准确表达这种感受。natural(自然的)、breathtaking(惊人的)、promising(有希望的)均与负面情感不符。故选B。
15. B 考查动词辨析。句意:这就是为什么我觉得分享我自己的故事很重要——为了帮助他人看到我所了解的中国。文章结尾点明作者写作的目的:通过讲述个人真实经历来纠正误解。share(分享)自己的故事,是达成此目的的直接方式。create(创造)、keep(保持)、invent(发明)均不能准确表达“向他人讲述”的含义。故选B。

本文是一篇科技说明文。文章介绍了一家意大利建筑事务所为应对海平面上升带来的威胁,所设计的一种创新型“浮动城市”方案。该设计通过模块化、可移动的平台,结合柔性结构和可再生能源技术,旨在使城市区域能够随水位上升而适应,并与海洋环境和谐共生,同时文章也提及了该设计面临的挑战。
1. B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070 ...”可知,其设计动机是受到到2070年亚洲沿海城市可能面临洪灾的惊人预测所驱动。这属于潜在的灾难。A项“能源危机”、C项“旅游业扩张”、D项“城市过度拥挤”在文中均未作为设计动机被提及。故选B。
2. B 推理判断题。文章描述了设计的多个特点:结构像竹子一样灵活以抵抗风浪(第二段),使用可再生能源(第三段),平台能在极端天气下自动分离和重组(第三段),以及设计师“城市必须学会与海浪共舞”的理念(最后一段)。这些都体现了设计的“适应性(Adaptable)”和“创造性(Creative)”。A项“复杂且不可移动”与“灵活”、“可移动”的特点相悖;C项“环保且成本效益高”,文中强调了环保(如保护海洋生物、使用可再生能源),但未提及成本效益;D项“可再生的且被广泛使用的”,文中设计利用可再生能源,但该设计本身是一个概念方案,并未被广泛使用。故选B。
3. C 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring maintenance every four months ...”明确提到海水会缓慢腐蚀材料,需要每四个月进行一次维护,这是设计面临的一个具体挑战和局限。A项“它威胁海洋生物”与文中“相比建造人工岛,这种方法能多保护68%的海洋生物”的表述相反;B项“它缺乏清洁能源选择”与第三段描述的利用风、水、太阳能等多种可再生能源矛盾;D项“它忽视了沿海水域变化”恰恰是设计旨在应对的核心问题。故选C。
4. C 标题判断题。全文围绕应对海平面上升而设计的“浮动城市(Floating City)”展开,重点在于城市如何“随水位上升(Rise with the waters/Rising with the Tides)”这一核心理念和设计哲学。C项“Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities”(随潮汐而起:浮动城市)准确、形象地抓住了这一主旨。A项“Ocean Protection: Life under Threat”(海洋保护:受威胁的生命)范围过宽,未突出“城市设计”这一具体解决方案;B项“Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions”(连接未来:生态解决方案)过于宽泛和普通,未体现“浮动”和“适应海平面上升”的特性;D项“Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo”(沿海设计:来自竹子的灵感)只涉及了设计的一个局部特点(结构柔性),不能概括全文。故选C。
D
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青春期青少年大脑发育不均衡的特点,以及他们如何通过愤怒、沉默或不当行为表达内心困扰。文章解释了情绪发展快于推理发展的原因,并提出了帮助青少年的方法,包括积极倾听、创造情感安全的环境以及教授他们处理情绪的技巧,从而促进他们的成长与信任建立。
1. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The part handling emotions grows earlier than the part responsible for clear thinking and decision-making. This mismatch often leads teens to react with feelings first, not logic.”可知,青少年大脑中处理情绪的部分比负责清晰思维和决策的部分发育得更早,这种不匹配导致他们先以情绪而非逻辑反应。因此,情绪发展比推理发展更快。A项“所有大脑区域以相同速度发育”与文本相反;B项“逻辑技能在情绪之前发育”与文本相反;C项“大脑发育在15岁时完成”文本未提及。故选D。
2. A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“What looks like anger is often a cover for deeper issues — anxiety, fear, or feeling worthless. Similarly, pulling away usually doesn’t mean they don’t care; it may mean they feel overwhelmed.”可知,青少年的愤怒和沉默往往是更深层问题(如焦虑、恐惧)的掩盖,沉默通常不意味着不关心,而是可能感到不知所措。由此可推断,他们通常将负面情绪隐藏在内心,并通过行为间接表达,而非直接沟通。B项“沉默意味着青少年不关心周围的人”与文本明确相反;C项“这些行为主要源于他们对家庭规则的不喜欢”文本未提及;D项“有此类行为的青少年经常拒绝任何形式的帮助”与文意不符。故选A。
3. B 细节理解题。根据第五段“Feeling emotionally safe is essential. Young people talk more openly when they feel accepted, not criticized.”可知,情感安全的环境让青少年感到被接纳而非批评,从而更开放地表达想法。因此,这有助于他们更坦率地表达思想。A项“依赖父母支持”文本未提及;C项“避免体验强烈情绪”与文意不符;D项“更专注于学业表现”文本未提及。故选B。
4. C 推理判断题。根据第六段“Besides support from others, teens need their own tools to handle difficulties.”以及“These methods help teens face challenges with greater awareness and courage, leading themselves well even through hard times.”可知,青少年学习这些技巧(如正念、写日记、基于价值观的决策)是为了装备自己处理问题的技能,从而更好地面对挑战。A项“确保他们的决策基于逻辑”文本未强调逻辑决策;B项“减少他们对他人支持的依赖”文本提到需要自己的工具,但目的是提升自主能力,而非单纯减少依赖;D项“改善他们与父母和朋友的沟通”文本未直接提及。故选C。
七选五
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了保持良好情绪健康的重要性,并给出了几种具体的方法,如保持社交联系、坚持锻炼、寻找生活意义以及在需要时寻求专业帮助。
1. D 本段首句强调了在困境中调整情绪的重要性。空前为“And it’s especially important to adjust our emotions when we are faced with difficult situations.”,空后为“So our ability ... is key.”,表明空处应解释为何“面对困境”时调整情绪尤为重要。D项“We are sure to face challenges in our personal lives.(我们个人生活中肯定会面临挑战)”直接点明了“困难情境”的具体性,从而引出“因此管理情绪的能力是关键”的结论,逻辑顺畅。故选D。
2. F 本段主旨为“保持联系”(Stay connected)。空前强调“社区很重要”(Community is important),空后则对比了线上联系和线下见面的作用。F项“Plan regular shared time with friends and family members.(计划与朋友和家人的定期相处时间)”是构建“社区”和实现“线下见面”的具体行动建议,完美承接上文并引出下文,是维持社交联系的核心方法。故选F。
3. C 本段围绕“锻炼”展开。空前建议进行每日锻炼但“不必让锻炼太辛苦(you don’t have to make the workout too hard)”,需要一个具体的、强度不大的运动方式作为例子。C项“Just going for a walk around your house can help.(就在家附近散步也有帮助)”提供了最简单可行的低强度运动建议,与前文形成直接例证关系,符合语境。故选C。
4. G 本段讨论“寻找生活意义”。空前指出工作并非唯一的意义来源,需要一个能提供其他意义来源的替代性建议。G项“Do something you have never done but always wanted to do.(做一件你从未做过但一直想做的事)”是一种积极的、探索性的寻找意义的方式,与后文“养宠物”或“做志愿者”这些具体例子属于并列的建议,共同说明了工作之外的多种可能性。故选G。
5. A 本段核心是建议在自我调节无效时寻求外部帮助。空处位于段首,应是本段主旨句。后文详细说明了“不必独自处理负面情绪”以及何时应该寻求心理健康专家的帮助。A项“Know when to turn to somebody else.(知道何时向他人求助)”精准概括了本段主题,与后文内容完全一致。故选A。

一、应用文
Dear Lily,
Congratulations on making the Students’ Union. It is such a wonderful testament to your organizational talent and passion. Yet I fully understand your worry about balancing studies and union duties, so I’m sharing practical tips.
First, craft a well-structured schedule, assigning fixed time to each task to avoid last-minute chaos. Second, utilize fragmented time like class breaks to review lessons or draft activity plans — small moments add up. Third, seek help when overwhelmed: share tasks with union peers or ask teachers for time-management advice.
Hope these tips work! May your high school life brim with joy, growth and achievements.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
